Potter star Rupert Grint has been confirmed as having taken a few days off filming Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows due to having contracted the H1N1 influenza virus, also known as the swine flu.
In a statement Grint's publicist said that it had been confirmed that the 20-year-old Potter star had contracted a mild case of the virus but that he has since recovered and is looking forward to attending the upcoming premieres for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince with his fellow cast members before returning to the set of Deathly Hallows once again for filming.

Whoa! That's awful. But at least he's recovered already. Maybe he got it from that co-star that had it.

NOOOOO!!
NOT RUPERT! RUPERT IS THE CUTEST GUY AND BEST ACTOR ALIVE! HE CAN'T DIE!
xD
Well I'm glad he's better, and am wondering why everyone is making a big fuss of it saying he's got swine flu if he's better and it was a mild case.

Wow, a Potter star gets the flu and the media considers it newsworthy!
I live in the "Swine Flu Capital" of the world, and had the flu two weeks ago, so I can say it!! xD Haha.

Oh my God I almost had a fricking heart attack! This thing kills! I'm so happy that he's better though. I was so upset. Upset because he might be in a lot of danger but also because he might not have been able to do premieres and stuff. I was more worried for his health though.
I'm so happy he's doing better.

I'm surprised this was posted here (a day later than everyone else.) Especially, since almost anything else regarding Rupert (ie. his WORK) doesn't get posted until much later than most outlets or not at all.
Anyway, the word it HAD! HAD! He's recovered and will be alright to go to the London premiere as confirmed by his publicist.....
